Pace Maker

Hello,

I have had a pace maker for 5 years.  The pacemaker was implanted at the age of 29 when I was diagnosed with complete heart block.  Before I had the pacemaker implanted I was getting severe chest pains, panic attacks and heart palputations.

I have had the odd hick up with chest pain but not major - that was until recently.

For the last month or so I have been getting horrible heart palputations with mild chest pain. As per norm, my hospital are taking their time to recognise that there is a problem.  I have just had the 24 hour tape done (24 hour ECG) and have an echocardiogram tomorrow.

Has anyone else in there experience had any similar symptoms after having a pace maker? as I am getting a tad worried.

Thanks

Wade
